Giving a new attempt manually
Those who have completed the course, either in part or in full – or who have failed – may be given a new attempt for the same course. Within a course, the Results view has a Give New Attempt feature that allows the learner to be given a new attempt to complete the course. When a new attempt is made, the learner’s performance information for previously completed tasks is deleted and the course returns to the Unstarted state for him or her.
Allowing multiple attempts learner-oriented
In the course completion conditions (Settings > Passing criteria) you can allow learners to start a new attempt. When this option is selected, the learner can independently start a new attempt, if
- the completion status is failed
- the course completion status is passed, but learner wishes to improve the result, or
- if the course completion would expire soon or has already expired.
The course administrator can write the instructions, which the learner will be able to read before starting a new attempt. When a learner begins a new attempt, assignments and content previously completed in the course during the previous attempt are deleted. An entry with the date of the previous performance will remain visible in the Reports section as well as in the learner’s own results.
For the learner, this setting is visible on the desktop as a “Start over” button:
Managing of expiring course completions
Course completion expiry can be set in the Course Completion > Passing Criteria view of the course in Priima . It is now possible to determine, in addition to the due date of the completion expiry, how many days before the due date, the learner can start a new attempt. A reminder of an expiry execution can also be defined, for example, at the same time as it is possible to start a new attempt.
In this example course, a learner’s course completion is expiring one year after completion. As defined in the settings, the course will appear on the Expiring tab 30 days before the expiry date, allowing the learner to complete it again. Next to the course, the learner will see a Start Over button. At the top is the first course expiring. The view shows all expiring courses.
The Course Results view for course administrators and trainers will display a new Expiring tab if the course has expiring completions:
